Description

Greetings, Chamber Members and friends, 

As we look to finish the fourth quarter strong here at MACC, we want to keep our catalyst momentum going. As part of MACC's commitment to Catalyst Leadership, we are taking an intentional regional approach by convening with our partners at the Crawford County and Morrow County Chambers of Commerce. By bringing our respective memberships together, we can expand perspectives, strengthen relationships, and create opportunities for collaboration that benefit our entire region. 

What will it take to make Ohio more competitive, strengthen our business climate, and position our communities for continued growth? 

Join us on Tuesday, December 1, from 8:00–10:00 AM at Marion Technical College for an Ohio Blueprint presentation featuring guest speaker Rick Carfagna of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. 

Rick will share insights from the Ohio Blueprint and its six strategic areas of opportunity for increasing Ohio’s competitiveness: 

Education & Workforce – Developing the talent and skills Ohio businesses need. 

Sense of Place – Creating communities where people want to live, work, and grow. 

Taxes & Costs – Strengthening Ohio’s overall cost competitiveness. 

Business Friendliness – Creating an environment where businesses can succeed. 

Innovation & Collaboration – Encouraging new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities. 

Infrastructure – Investing in the systems and resources that support growth. 

These are important conversations for our business community and our region. Understanding where Ohio stands, where opportunities exist, and what we can do collectively to move forward is an important part of building a stronger economic future for Marion County. 

We hope you will join us for this informative discussion and an opportunity to hear how these priorities can impact Ohio businesses and communities.
